The One with Nanowrimo 2010

Well, here we go again. Nanowrimo. And Melissa, you know that you wanted me to take a crack at an Eris novel? That's what I'm attempting this year. Hope you like my treatment of it. I'm excited this time around as its my first serious stab at a modern novel. Oh and Tiff, I intend to have Leanne in this one as well. Hope you all like. My daily goal is 1,667 words and the first day I hit 1781. Not too shabby. I'm going into this season with a lot of confidence as I won last year. Let's make it two in a row.

Don't watch Hot Tub Time Machine. Too much language and drugs. I was quite disgusted by it. The Blind Side was fair, but I didn't see what all the fuss was about.

Last Days of Krypton by Kevin Anderson
A fresh take on the tale of Superman's home planet. Anderson integrates most of the big story lines from Krypton like General Zod, Jax-ur, Brainiac, Jor-el, Lara, and Zor-el (Jor-el's brother and Kara's father-Supergirl for you non-DC fans). I had a fun time with this book and seeing Anderson's slant on the legend. A fun read. ***
